Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about engineering, hosting, and deploying a virtual tour for your business or institution.
What is a Virtual Tour?
A virtual tour is a high-precision spatial simulation of an existing physical location, composed of interconnected 360-degree panoramas, LiDAR 3D mesh data, and interactive media hotspots that allow viewers to explore with authentic physical scale.
How Do Virtual Tours Work?
Users navigate through interconnected scan positions by clicking hotspot nodes or using touch gestures on mobile. In VR headsets, viewers look around naturally and teleport through corridors in 6-DoF spatial presence.
What Are the Business Benefits?
Virtual tours boost website dwell time by up to 500%, improve Google Business Profile SEO, pre-qualify remote buyers, reduce unnecessary physical site viewings, and operate as a 24/7 global showroom.
What Industries Can Benefit?
Virtually any industry with physical premises: real estate developments, university campuses, mining operations, luxury automotive dealerships, safari lodges, hospitals, retail showrooms, and convention centers.
How Much Does a Virtual Tour Cost?
Pricing depends on the square footage of the space, scan point density, and custom interactive requirements (such as drone aerials or bespoke branding). We provide fast, itemized quotes tailored to your project.
How Long Does Production Take?
On-site capture for standard facilities typically takes a few hours to one full day. Post-production stitching, hotspot integration, and QA testing are usually completed within 3 to 7 business days.
Can Tours Be Viewed on Mobile?
Yes. All VRSA virtual tours are 100% responsive and optimized for touch dragging or gyroscope-guided motion navigation on both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
